Linn County, County in northern Missouri, United States.
Linn County is an administrative division in northern Missouri that includes multiple small towns such as Brookfield, Bucklin, and the county seat Linneus. The area is crossed by U.S. Route 36 running east to west, along with several state routes that connect the various communities.
The county was formally established in 1837 and named after U.S. Senator Lewis F. Linn of Missouri, an influential political figure of that era. The naming reflected the area's respect for his congressional service during this formative period.
The region's towns developed around farming and small-scale commerce, shaping how residents organize community events and gather spaces in public squares. Local institutions and family businesses remain central to how people experience daily life in these communities.
The best time to explore the area is during warmer months when roads are in good condition and small communities are most active. Having a car is essential since communities are spread out and not easily accessible on foot.
Walt Disney spent formative childhood years in Marceline, which is located within the county, and this experience later inspired the design of Main Street USA at Disney theme parks. The town preserves this connection through local monuments and historical markers.
